Instructions

Before beginning to build, always check in on my site to make sure you have the most up to date set of plans, I occasionally update and change the plans to make the building process easier or to allow for less expensive purchasing of materials! Read through the entire set of instructions and all comments before beginning this project. If you print out or save plans, be sure to check in on my site to be sure you have the most up to date set of plans, as I occasionally update things for ease of building or buying. If you are new to building, read through the GETTING STARTED section and other articles found under the BUILD tab in the menu on my site, it has valuable information about how to get started, tools and techniques. If you are unfamiliar with the finishing process, visit my Finishing school for some tips and tricks for painting like a pro and for special finishing practices. Use glue to secure your joints and Consider Painting or Staining individual sections prior to assembling. This makes the paint application virtually flawless. Coat with a spray on Poly or Wipe on Poly to protect your finish and your piece and it will last for ages. Adhere to all safety standards and guidelines, and be sure you follow safety protocol throughout your build. If you are unsure about whether you are building safely, run a quick online search for the tool or technique you are using, or contact me via email or post to the forum before you move ahead.

Step 1

Apply edge banding to each piece before assembly.

Cut the pieces for the lazy susan frame. Set the Kreg jig for ¾” material and drill pocket holes in each end of the shorter pieces. Assemble as shown using glue and 1-1/4” pocket hole screws.

Step 2

Cut the pieces for the lazy susan base and the cabinet base. Attach the lazy susan base to the frame with glue and 1-1/4” brad nails. The top will overlap the frame by ½” on all sides.

Attach the lazy susan hardware to the lazy susan base and the cabinet base according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 3

Cut the pieces for the sides. Drill pocket holes in the shorter ends. Attach to the cabinet base locating the sides ¾” in from the sides of the base using glue and 1-1/4” pocket hole screws.

Step 4

Cut the piece for the back. Drill pocket holes as shown and attach to the sides and base using glue and 1-1/4” pocket hole screws.

Step 5

Cut the pieces for the shelves. Drill pocket holes on three sides only and attach to the cabinet at the spacing indicated using glue and 1-1/4” pocket hole screws.

Cut the piece for the stretcher and drill pocket holes at each end. Attach to the cabinet as shown using glue and 1-1/4” pocket hole screws.

Step 7

Cut the pieces for the side frames. The frame pieces can be attached to each other using pocket hole screws, then glued and secured with brad nails to the side of the cabinet or attached to the base individually using glue and brad nails.

Step 8

Cut the piece for the top. Secure to the cabinet with glue and 1-1/4” pocket hole screws through the top of the base into the top piece.

Step 9

Cut the pieces for the casing one at a time with 45 deg. mitered edges. Attach to the cabinet and lazy susan frame using glue and 1-1/4” brad nails.

Step 10

Attach knobs or hooks to the back. Add the cork and mirror to the side frames using the appropriate glue for each.
